And could it be as simple as a couple of things.
Firstly that she doesn't really like the necklace nor the tiara. Also the necklace is hard to wear as to show it off it needs a very low neckline dress which she stopped wearing as she grew older
(personally I hate it when a necklace and the neckline of a dress clash and the neckline of the dress is too high that it obscures the necklace)
